To find out which equation has the solution set \( x = {-\frac{9}{5}, 3} \), we can analyze each of the given equations by identifying their roots.

  1. Equation: \(-3x(5x+9)=0\)

    • Setting each factor to zero:

      • \(-3x = 0\) ⇒ \(x = 0\)
      • \(5x + 9 = 0\) ⇒ \(5x = -9\) ⇒ \(x = -\frac{9}{5}\)
    • Solution set: \( x = {0, -\frac{9}{5}} \)

  2. Equation: \((x−3)(5x+9)=0\)

    • Setting each factor to zero:

      • \(x - 3 = 0\) ⇒ \(x = 3\)
      • \(5x + 9 = 0\) ⇒ \(x = -\frac{9}{5}\)
    • Solution set: \( x = {3, -\frac{9}{5}} \)

  3. Equation: \((x+3)(9x−5)=0\)

    • Setting each factor to zero:

      • \(x + 3 = 0\) ⇒ \(x = -3\)
      • \(9x - 5 = 0\) ⇒ \(9x = 5\) ⇒ \(x = \frac{5}{9}\)
    • Solution set: \( x = {-3, \frac{5}{9}} \)

  4. Equation: \((x−3)(9x+5)=0\)

    • Setting each factor to zero:

      • \(x - 3 = 0\) ⇒ \(x = 3\)
      • \(9x + 5 = 0\) ⇒ \(9x = -5\) ⇒ \(x = -\frac{5}{9}\)
    • Solution set: \( x = {3, -\frac{5}{9}} \)

From our analysis, the equation that has the solution set \( x = {-\frac{9}{5}, 3} \) is:

\((x−3)(5x+9)=0\).

Thus, the correct response is:

\((x−3)(5x+9)=0\).
